| Evaluation of the project ‘Strengthening Community Capacities in Rajasthan and Gujarat on Disaster Risk Reduction’ |
|
|
 |
In May 2011, a team comprising of a disaster management and development planning specialist and a rural development specialist evaluated the project – ‘Strengthening Community Capacities in Rajasthan and Gujarat on Disaster Risk Reduction’.
The objective was to identify the key areas of success and challenges faced and also to articulate the broad contours for future programming. The evaluation was expected to serve an overall purpose of reflection and learning on the relevance and appropriateness of the purpose and the congruence between the objective, outcome level results and the strategies. An event was organised on June 15, 2011 for sharing the report. |

The team shared that the project has in its own small way initiated a legacy that simply cannot be discontinued at this juncture. There is enough evidence on the ground of the outcome of the project activities both in terms of processes related to community capacity development for DRR as well as in creation of tangible assets for families and their communities. The potential of many of these activities is visibly high, and was also reported by participating communities and partner NGOs. The team also recommended structured documentation and dissemination of the innovative practices and identifying other suitable knowledge products to be developed in relation to DRR in the context of drought and dalits as the targeted social group. |
